Eye Conditions We Manage with Eye Exams

Eye Conditions We Manage with Regular Exams

Did you know that over 75% of vision loss worldwide is preventable with early detection and treatment? Your eyes are the windows to your soul and a key indicator of your overall health.

At Solomon Eye Associates, we are passionate about helping you protect your vision and maintain optimal eye health. Many eye conditions, like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, can develop silently without noticeable symptoms. This makes routine eye care an essential part of your wellness journey.

Why Regular Eye Exams Are Important

Routine eye exams are more than checking your glasses or contact lenses prescription. These comprehensive evaluations allow optometrists to:

• Detect Eye Diseases Early: Conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy often show no symptoms in their early stages. Routine exams ensure we identify these diseases before they progress.
• Monitor Vision Changes: Over time, vision can change due to age, lifestyle, or underlying health conditions. Eye exams ensure your prescriptions stay accurate and we meet your visual needs.
• Identify Systemic Health Issues: Many systemic conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and even certain cancers, can present signs in the eyes.
• Provide Tailored Eye Care: Personalized advice and treatment plans ensure your eyes remain healthy and functional for years.

Eye Conditions Managed Through Regular Eye Care

At Solomon Eye Associates, we diagnose, monitor, and manage various eye conditions. Here are some common problems that can benefit from routine care:

Glaucoma

Known as the "silent thief of sight," glaucoma can cause irreversible vision loss if left untreated. Regular eye exams measure intraocular pressure and assess optic nerve health to catch glaucoma early.

Cataracts

Cataracts develop slowly, clouding the eye’s natural lens and affecting vision. We monitor cataracts and discuss treatment options, including referrals for surgery when necessary.

Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eyes can result from environmental factors, lifestyle habits, or underlying health conditions. Our team offers customized treatments, including artificial tears, prescription medications, and in-office therapies.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetes can damage blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision loss if untreated. Regular exams allow us to detect early signs and collaborate with your healthcare providers for comprehensive care.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

AMD affects central vision, making daily activities like reading or driving challenging. Early detection and management through routine exams can help slow its progression.

Refractive Errors

We can effectively manage myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia with updated glasses or contact lenses prescription.

Eye Infections and Injuries

From conjunctivitis (pink eye) to corneal abrasions, timely care from an optometrist can address infections or injuries, preventing complications.
